By Students in Gymnasium Wandlitz, Wandlitz GermanySome of our readers at Gymnasium Wandlitz in Germany have sent us answers to two questions about modern Germany. We have selected a small section from the writing of each student who sent something to us.

What do like here in Germany?
We like Germany very much because of the great variety of scenery. In the north we have the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. In the middle of Germany is a wonderful lowland with grain fields, grape fields, and forests. In the south of Germany are the Alps with its beautiful and lonely Alpine pastures. Wonderful lakes are in Brandenburg. The famous River Rhein flows through the west of Germany. Around the Rhein are wine-growing areas.
The cities are so multi-cultural. Germany has many sights, for example Berlin the TV tower the most famous column of Berlin, Siegessäule, the “Branden burger Tor,” the Nicolai church and so many other things.Riggeri Püschel

We are proud of our country because here there are many people
from different countries, different cultures and all people are accepted by everyone.
The politicians are most of the time fair and correct.Laura Buch and Joyce Wolff

Germans are philosophers, musicians, artists, people with their own identity and their own style of life. The sound, the smell, the teaste, the feeling… Germany is not just my home country, it’s
my life.Maria Schals and Martina Schrade

We like in Germany that we have a woman as chancellor because we
had only men chancellors before and maybe a woman can rule the country better.Benjamin Seidler

What should politicians or other people do to make our country better?
We think that the politicians should find solutions for the foreigners problem here in Germany, mainly in Berlin where there so many people from other countries who don’t adopt. And another big problem is unemployment. Many young people don’t
find an apprenticeship.Sophie Eschke and Sarah Czyloorra

They should look after students much more and they should build
better schools.Nina Komm and Susannah Müller

The politicians should do more for young people, for example, where
the young people can meet and the most important thing to create more jobs, so
that families have a chance to live more satisfied lives.Anne Seegrün and Saskia Ostendorff

The politicians should do something against the unemployment. They
should reduce the taxes.Philipp Tauhe, Matthias Müller

Everybody should do something about crime and the Neo-Nazis.Fritz Krüger and Fabian Müller
